EXPLORERS 1:6 SCALE "THUNDER ROAD" ...My first scratch bult model...

Re: EXPLORERS 1:6 SCALE "THUNDER ROAD" ...My first scratch bult model...

Nice work so far. Looks like a clean kit. I was curious as to why Randy chose to make portals in the rear when on the real model they are reflectors...

Here are a few more pics of my finished and weathered model. I finally finished the upper lights. I printed the photo of Lori Swenson and I am working on the "UFO SCARE" newspaper...

Did you know there are two red reflectors and 3 yellow ones actually? I'm having to update my parts to do that.

Yeah, I noticed that after I put mine on. I will repaint them soon.
 
I was addicted to that movie as a kid because it had that 'if they can do that, so can I' feeling that inspired me to build many a project. Plus with the Space Shuttle such a big deal in the 80s it seemed like the only way a kid could get into outer space back then.

I was also addicted to the movie 'SpaceCamp' for the same reasons.
